New regional jail opens BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Big jets roared overhead on their way to nearby Sea-Tac Airport once every seven minutes, jarring molars and rendering all attempts at conversation outside the walls of the new concrete and glass building momentarily futile. Inside the structure, things were different. There, 21st century technology and a blanket of soundproofing smothered the din of engines. Save for the

footfalls of guards, inmates and the clanking shut of metal gates, all was quiet. The South Correctional Entity (SCORE) — the new jail for misdemeanant inmates — has opened. Last week the cities that pooled their money to build the $98 million, 163,830-square-foot jail — Auburn, Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way, Seatac, Burien and host city Des Moines — got together to celebrate its opening, two years and a month from the Aug. 10, 2009, groundbreaking. Some of the taxpayers who helped pay for the new jail took a guided tour down the 394-foot long

main hall, walking along a sober white floor that glows at night. Outside the booking area, an inmate, dressed in the standard, black-andwhite striped, jail-issued uniform, waited quietly with an escort. “Every inmate is issued the standard, one-size-fitsall underwear,â€? said Jim Kelly, Deputy Director of the new jail. “Think about that ‌ think about that.â€? Surely, one man said aghast, that’s asking too much of a pair of drawers. What about severely overweight inmates? “They’ll stretch,â€? Kelly replied with a smile. [ more JAIL, page 7 ]

Schools report positive enrollment Sobriety is just a Loss of 100 students means loss of $500,000 in revenue BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Enrollment remains fairly consistent for all of Federal Way Public Schools, a positive sign for the district and its finances, according to Sally McLean, assistant superintendent of business services. McLean, giving a “back to school� report during the Sept. 13 school board meeting, prefaced her findings by saying that enrollment is a vital ingredient in any district’s financial well-being. “One of the major assumptions in any school district’s budget is the number of students that we can expect to serve during a given year, versus the number of students that actually show up,� she said. “The very good news is, we are close to our

projections.� McLean said that even if the Federal Way district’s enrollment projections are 99.5 percent correct, the remaining .5 percent still equals a lot of lost revenue for the district. “That other half percent, which is roughly 100 students, translates into the loss of about $500,000 in revenue, because of the way school districts are funded in the state of Washington,� she said. Outside of that, McLean highlighted that the $10 million budget shortfall from last year, combined with the uncertain nature of the state’s upcoming budget, means FWPS has a much more difficult time meeting unexpected shifts in student attendance across the district. “One of the things we are struggling with, as we go through this

Daisy and the security detail she brought with her “were stopped on the way to the prison by a crowd of unrelated prisoners who were lighting logs on fire in the street and threatening passers-by with sticks,� according to the website. Fortunately for her, the security guard “told the crowd she was injured and needed to pass, so they let her go.� Puracal is being held in Nicaraguan prison after being found guilty of money laundering, drug trafficking and organized crime charges earlier this month. In what amounted to a kangaroo trial, Puracal’s defense case was thrown out by the presiding judge.

He could face up to a maximum of 30 years in prison. U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, whose district includes the Federal Way area, issued his own statement on Aug. 30 regarding Puracal’s conviction. “Jason Puracal has been taken away from his wife and son for nearly nine months and put on trial for drug trafficking and money laundering. Unfortunately, last night (Aug. 29), Jason was convicted of all counts against him in a flawed Nicaraguan justice system. I was hoping for a better outcome for Jason and his family,� Smith said. “Going forward, my office will continue to advocate for Jason as an American citizen and work with the State Department to explore all options under international law.�

The family of Jason Puracal, a Tacoma man wrongly imprisoned in Nicaragua, posted Sept. 9 that Puracal had been badly burned in an accident in prison. Puracal suffered “firstdegree burns on his left thigh, shin and foot. Within the first-degree burns are second-degree burns where the skin is blistering,� according to the website www.freejasonp.com. The website also reports that Puracal suffered a third-degree burn on his right leg, measuring approximately four by six inches. Puracal was injured while he and other inmates boiled water for their own consumption. This is apparently common practice because any water obtained through the prison’s water system is “infested with parasites.� Prisoners can buy their own fresh water from the prison store, but often times that resource is quickly depleted. Daisy Puracal, Jason’s mother and a doctor, made an emergency trip to the Nicaraguan prison to confirm his condition and the extent of his injuries. According to the family’s website, Daisy Puracal was able to apply antibiotic cream and properly dress the larger wound, something the prison doctor was unable to do.

The Federal Way community employs approximately 3,000 publicly-funded workers. These employees range from police to teachers to the water engineers at Lakehaven Utility District. Most of these public employees give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. However, do these employees have an obligation to the community that extends beyond their work hours? For example, should public employees be encouraged, or even required, to live in the community that pays their salaries? While elected officials such as the mayor are required to live in their community, no such requirement exists for non-elected positions such as the police chief or fire chief, department directors or even the superintendent of Federal Way Public Schools. In addition to having to “eat their own cooking,� requiring employees to live in Federal Way has an economic impact. For sake of discussion, let’s assume the 20 highest-paid public employees average $150,000 each (salary and benefits). If required to live in the community, their $3 million in income could purchase nearly $10 million worth of residential real estate. Combined with the additional retail spending, this would provide a small, but measurable, impact on Federal Way’s economy and tax revenues. On the flip side, requiring employees to live in Federal Way could limit the potential talent pool for key positions because not everyone wants to live in Federal Way (too bad for them). Alternatively, some public employees have financial or family restraints that could prevent them from moving. We must also consider that other local governments may follow our lead, requiring their employees who live in Federal Way to move out of town. Economics aside, do high-paid public employees have an obligation to the community beyond their stated job duties? Would you support a requirement that public employees be required to live in the community where they are employed? Or do you believe these entities should be conducted as a business by hiring the most experienced and suitable people for the positions, regardless of where they live? There is a state law, RCW 35.21.200, that deals with this issue. Through an ordinance, Federal Way can establish residency requirements for future employees (current employees are exempt). We feel that, at a minimum, there should be a residency requirement for all Federal Way employees who are department heads and/or direct reports to the mayor or city council, along with deputy department heads and their direct reports. This could be a great incentive to the people who directly deal with the public to take the “service� aspects of their jobs to the next level. Indeed, such a residency policy could in some cases be a hardship or become a barrier to obtaining the best talent. The ordinance could allow the city council, for example, to approve exceptions on a case by case basis for specified reasons — e.g., the prospective employee needs to live in another community to treat a sick child. There may be a number of legitimate exceptions, carefully crafted, and could include a competitive factor — e.g., the candidate is unwilling to move and his/her skills are not adequately obtainable from other candidates. Your tax dollars are paying for city employees, school district employees, fire employees and more. Perhaps it’s time to give them a fuller stake in the community they serve.

The welfare state There was once a woman who lived in England. She was living on the dole, what we call welfare. She had a child and was a single mother living off welfare. But she liked to write. She had been writing since gram-

mar school. And she decided to write a book. Everyday in her coffee house, she sat at the same table and wrote as she drank her coffee and attended to her child. Soon her book was finished and she looked for an agent. Eventually she found an agent and her book got published in

England, later in America. Her book was about a boy who went to magic school to become a magician. His name, the star of the book, was Harry Potter and the book was called “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.� The author was J.K. Rowling, a woman living [ more LETTERS page 9 ]

[ JAIL from page 1]

Building a jail Seven years ago, King County first notified South King County cities that they would have to build their own misdemeanant jail because the county would no longer accept inmates from the cities after 2012. The cities also had a jail contract with Yakima County, but the rising costs ultimately made that unsustainable. The cities took the problem seriously and began planning. The cities transported their inmates to the jail Sept. 2, three weeks short of the construction completion date. As of the grand opening day, the project — still not completed — was more than $5 million under budget. The facility bristles with new technology, including advanced security measures and a video court system that allows inmates to appear before a judge without leaving the jail, eliminating the expense of vehicle transport. The misdemeanant jail, which houses male and female inmates, will accept

felony bookings from member city police departments. These are investigatory holds that allow an inmate to be held for no more than 72 hours. “I must say,” said Des Moines Mayor Bob Scheckler, “this is the best use of noise-impacted land this city has. Once upon a time, this land was slated to be — nothing. Nobody was going to use it for anything, and look what we’ve got.” “The south county cities come together in times of need,” said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, presiding officer of SCORE’s administrative board. “We moved quickly, we found a site, we came together as a group of cities and said that we would go forward and create a new entity that became SCORE.” “Right here, right now, in concrete is living proof of what cities operating in partnership can achieve,” Lewis added. Also present were Burien Councilmember Rose Clark, Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest, Renton Mayor Denis Law, the Seatac City Manager Todd Cutts and Tukwila Mayor Jim Haggerton.

“I have heard that the administration was actually in charge of doing our scheduling this year and that they didn’t ask for teacher input,” she said. “They just wanted to do it themselves, they wanted to have control of it, not show anyone the master list, and my understanding is they have a bigger play in it that just the whole mishandling of it.” Neu reiterated his own frustration at the situation that unfolded at TJ. “I’m furious, and if it was my kid…I’d be livid. It’s unconscionable. If I was a teacher, I’d be livid,” he said. “This is not good.”

Delay the start of school at TJ? Regarding the scheduling issues, Neu said he had considered delaying the start of the school year for TJ. “I wanted to delay starting school until Tuesday (Sept. 7),” he said. “But, we had information at that time, that we thought we were going to be OK. And while I’m convinced there were some things that led to this to begin with, human error, human judgment… understand, the principal (Dr. Marsha Denton) didn’t build the schedule alone. She had help from other individuals in the district who are experts with our system.” The superintendent said he wanted it on the record that Denton had received aid in formulating the schedule because of a perception within the TJ community that Denton had refused aid during the time the schedule was being put together. Neu told the gathered staff, students and parents that it is his mission to make sure the chaotic conditions at the start of the 2011-12 school year will be just a bad memory. “I will not tolerate this happening again,” he said. “I demand the schedule get done right the next time.”

ROADSHOW COMES TO FEDERAL WAY NEXT WEEK! By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER

Got gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on gold and silver jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and all coins prior to 1970

Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because the “As seen on TV,” Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to Federal Way. Roadshow specialists are in town examining your gold and silver, antiques and collectibles. While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular categor y this week due to soaring gold prices. Buyers for the roadshow have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewelry with our fair and honest purchase offers. The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it in and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold. Other types of items Roadshow specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Ryan Krushas, one of the Roadshow’s instrument specialists, spoke about some of the top guitars getting great offers. “Gibsons and Fenders are in big demand right now as are vintage amps,” said Krushas. We also buy violins, mandolins, woodwinds, if it plays it pays! Timepiece specialist Jeff Ford adds, “Watches are hot! We recently paid over $2,500 for an old Hamilton pocket watch. And we are buying all types of high-end wrist watches too. Brands like Rolex, Tiffany and Chopard are very desirable to collectors. And the finest Swiss timepiece in the world, Patek Philippe, just earned a happy seller $42,000.00”

When specialist Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about working at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency—for as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents’ grocer y store, looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1970 are the most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1965 are 90% silver, and valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for

Twelve people were injured at the lowrider car show attended by about 250 people. Another person was injured later that night in a retaliatory shooting at a Kent East Hill apartment. Of the 13 victims, seven were gang members, Thomas said. None of the injuries were life threatening. Detectives and crime analysts from 14 local, county, state and federal agencies are part of the investigation. They interviewed more than 150 people, reviewed hundreds of hours of video and photos and analyzed records from more than 70 cellphones. Property managers, the city of Kent and police were not made aware that the car show and a rap concert were lined up for that day. At the show, rappers in a band told the crowd to “show your flags,� Thomas said. That’s a term for gang members to flash gang signs. “Members started to show signs, which led to verbal arguments, physical altercations and then turned into a shooting,� Thomas said.

The Todd Beamer girls soccer team has been the class of the South Puget Sound League South Division for a long time. And this year should be no different. The Titans (3-0-0) remained unbeaten with a 2-0 win over cross-town rival Federal Way (1-1-0) Tuesday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Beamer tallied both of their goals in the final 10 minutes of the contest to break a scoreless battle. Breanna Straus struck first in the 70th minute on a pass from Janell Carlson and freshman Kristen Falecki iced the game in the 77th minute on a pass

from Jenny Hoefel. Meghan Graf picked up the shutout in net. The Titans return nine seniors from a team that finished unbeaten in the SPSL South and a program that has won three of the last four league titles. “We have nine seniors who have played in the program since freshman year,” said head coach Joel Lindberg. “They are a close group of friends and are fired up about making this a great season.” Leading the list of returners is Straus. The striker led Beamer in scoring a season ago with 16 goals Jenny Hoefel and five assists. Hoefel will also add to the offensive firepower. The junior finished with eight goals and six assists last year and has already scored three times this season. Also returning are midfielders Lindsey Richou, Jasmine Brilliante, Denali Pavlich-Wheeler, Carlson [ more WRAP UP page 12 ]

Sidelines: Seahawks’ ref brings back memories People keep telling me to be patient with the Seattle Seahawks. They tell me that Pete Carroll has a plan and there is a method to his roster turnover madness. “It took a couple years for Carroll to get things going at USC,” they say. “He just needs to get ‘his’ type of player on the roster.” It looks to me, that “his” type of player is very boring to watch and isn’t very good. Judging from last week’s regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, the Hawks seem primed to make a run at the first pick in the draft and not the Super Bowl. Things don’t get any easier tomorrow. The Seahawks will travel

to Pittsburgh to take on a very, very angry Steelers team that was boatraced by the Baltimore Ravens in week one. But the anger emitting from the Steeler locker room will pale in comparison from the venom being spewed in households all over Western Washington when referee Bill Leavy is shown on their television screen. Five years ago, Leavy was the referee for Super Bowl XL in Detroit against the same Pittsburgh Steelers. Let’s just say the officiating of that game remains a sore spot for a lot of Seahawks fans.

The Federal Way school district is loaded with golfing talent, especially on the girls’ side of the tee box.

penalties during the game, which really isn’t a lot for an NFL game. But it was the timing of two of the calls in the fourth quarter that made Seattle’s blood boil. Then-right tackle Sean Locklear was called for a phantom holding in the fourth quarter which negated a Jerramy Stevens (remember him?) catch that would have given the Seahawks a first-and-goal on the 1-yard line. Then, after an interception, Matt Hasselbeck was flagged for an illegal hit below the waist when he actually made the tackle. Also a bogus call, obviously. There was also a questionable pass interference in the first half that nullified a Darrell Jackson touchdown and a TD awarded to

Ben Roethlisberger when he was stopped short. Leavy attempted to make amends with us last year when he showed his face at the Seahawks’ training camp. “It was a tough thing for me,” Leavy said in 2010. “I kicked two calls in the fourth quarter, and I impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that. It left me with a lot of sleepless nights, and I think about it constantly. I’ll go to my grave wishing that I’d been better.

Beyke showed how impressive her game is early in her senior season Tuesday afternoon when she fired an ultra-impressive 34 at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. The 2-under par round helped the Gators roll over Enumclaw in a pivotal South Puget Sound League 3A Division match, 149-119. But Beyke isn’t the only Gator who could grab another state tournament trophy. Her sister, freshman Celia Beyke, is also one

of the best junior-level golfers in Washington. The younger sister shot a 6-over against Enumclaw. “We could be good enough to make a run at the state title,� said Decatur head girls coach Rick Dennison. The Jefferson Raiders also seem to have the players to make a run at the Class 4A girls state title. The Raiders bring back Alexus Song, who finished an impressive seventh at the 4A state last year. Song, a junior, shot an openinground 80 and sat in 16th place overall entering the second day of competition.

But Song came back in very impressive fashion, shooting the second-best round of the day with a 1-over par 73. The only player to go lower was eventual champion, Erynne Lee from Central Kitsap. Song won the SPSL title last year and also won the 2010 Pacific Northwest Junior PGA Championship last summer, qualifying her for the Junior PGA Championship in Indiana. Jefferson’s Sarah Yu also played at the state tournament a season ago and helped the Raiders to a ninth-place team finish. Yu fired two rounds in the 80s at state.

Sports Briefs: Muckleshoot Classic Sunday BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Sunday’s ninth running of the Washington Cup championships will be without one of Emerald Downs’ most heralded runners, Noosa Beach. The 5-year-old gelding, owned by Jeff Harwood and trained by Doris Harwood, was expected to defend his title in the $40,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, the ninth and final race on Washington Cup IX. The Cup’s card includes a series of six stakes races for Washington-breds worth $215,000. First post is 2 p.m. at the Auburn oval. Noosa Beach, the track Horse of the Meet last year and 2009 Longacres Mile champion, has won seven consecutive stakes races over the past 14 months. Joe Withee, the track’s publicity director, speculated during Wednesday’s post draw that the Harwood stable likely will run the mighty gelding in the $100,000 British Columbia Premier’s Handicap on Oct. 2 at Hastings Racecourse. Although the track’s best horse the past two years won’t be on hand, the Cup still packs star power with Wasserman, the track’s all-time leading earner, drawing the No. 3 post position in the Classic. The 9-year-old gelding, trained and owned by Howard Belvoir and ridden by Jennifer Whitaker, makes his sixth straight Classic start and his seventh appearance overall in a Washington Cup race. “There’s not too many horses you can see with one whole page of the Racing Form around here,� Belvoir said. Wasserman was victorious in the 2008 and ‘09 Classic, settled for second in the same stakes in ‘06 and ‘10, and finished third in ‘07. “He’s sound, and he goes,� Belvoir said. “And as long as he’s sound and he’s happy, he’ll be there.� The field features another Harwood

However, I will say it was more money than one of my paychecks, which come every two weeks. Ouch is right. That’s how sure I was that the Seahawks were going to win that game. As a paycheck-to-paycheck survivor like most everybody in today’s economy, I couldn’t afford to lose one of them. But, unlike a lot of Seahawks fans, I am not going to say that Leavy and the officials cost us the Super Bowl. That would be like saying Justin Bieber has a better voice than Nat King Cole. The Steelers did win the game pretty handily, 21-10. The Seahawks defense didn’t touch “Fast� Willie Parker during a 75-yard, third-quarter touchdown run. Pittsburgh also put the game away after they fish-hooked the Seattle defense when Antwaan Randle El hit Hines Ward on a 43-yard flea flicker in the fourth quarter. I think the 11 defenders were the only people fooled by Randle El (a receiver) throwing to Ward. Even in my inebriated state inside the Imperial Palace’s banquet room, I was yelling that Randle El was going to throw that ball. But what upset me most was those calls by the officials never even gave Seattle a chance. Plus, the point spread was Pittsburgh by six, if I remember right? And so does my gambling debt. Obviously, I won’t be putting any money on tomorrow’s game. The Seahawks aren’t good and the Steelers are upset. Plus, my wife wouldn’t be as forgiving this time around if I happened to throw down my paycheck on the Hawks.

Lee at No. 1 doubles, Russell Stelzer and Cameron Martin at No. 2 and Richard Ban and Tyler Hamashima at No. 3. Federal Way’s lone win came from Mitch Stewart at No. 1 singles over Kainoa Rosa, 6-0, 6-0. Decatur The Gators dropped a pair of SPSL 3A matches earlier this week to Lakes on Monday, 3-2, and Auburn Mountainview Wednesday, 4-1. Decatur’s wins against Lakes came from Steve Kang at No. 2 singles, 7-5, 6-3, and Colby Brotherton and Caleb Ramsey at No. 3 doubles, 2-6, 6-0, 11-9. Brotherton and Ramsey won the lone match against Auburn Mountainview, 6-3, 7-6.

VOLLEYBALL

The Christian Faith Eagles finished second at the Sundome Volleyball Festival in Yakima last weekend. The Eagles lost to Ridgefield in the championship, 25-23, 25-18, after winning their five previous matches.

The Christian Faith High School volleyball team finished in second place at the Sundome Volleyball Festival in Yakima last weekend.

Recycling plastics? Think shape, not number BY JEANETTE BRIZENDINE City of Federal Way

Can you tell which plastics go into your recycling cart? Many plastic products have a “chasing arrows� symbol with a code or number. But that doesn’t always mean it can be recycled. There’s an easier way to know whether your plastic container is

www.federalwaymirror.com recyclable: ignore the numbers and check the shape. In Federal Way, only bottles, jugs, tubs and cups can be recycled at the curb. Why use shape as a guide? The number and “chasing arrows� on a plastic container only tell the type of plastic resin used to make the item. It does not guarantee the item can be recycled. Remember, if no one wants the material, then it cannot be “recycled� into something else. For example, a bottle and a tray may start from the same resin, but they are made differently.

Plastic bottles become flexible during manufacturing, whereas deli trays become stiff and brittle. There is high demand for flexible plastic bottles because they can be recycled into different materials, such as carpet, fleece and other bottles. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the plastic deli trays. Bottom line: the plastic deli tray is a contaminant when recycling bottles. Please keep those deli trays out of your recycling cart. So forget the number — check the shape instead!

Now that you know the trick for recycling plastics, you are ready to enter this year’s Recycle Palooza contest. You could win up to $1,000 just for recycling right. Sign up by Sept. 30 for your chance to win. It’s easy to do online: www.cityoffederalway.com/ recyclepalooza.

Jeanette Brizendine is the Solid Waste and Recycling Project Manager for the City of Federal Way. She can be reached at 253.835.2771 or recycle@ cityoffederalway.com, or visit www. cityoffederalway.com/recycling

Milk vs. soda Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way has been selected to receive one of the first Fuel Up To Play 60 grants for the 2011-2012 academic year from the Washington State Dairy Council. The $3,000 grant will be used in part to launch a media campaign encouraging students to choose milk over soda. The students in the health and wellness classes will track their eating and physical activity. - Staff reports
